Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new to the whole topic of cameras.
I initially wanted to buy a Reolink system, but after a lot of research I came across Dahua.
Now Dahua has what feels like 100 different models.
I'm looking for 6-8 cameras to hang at a height of about 7 meters and monitor the...

I have a generic IP camera, the instructions say to use PanoEagle AjDevTools, so I'm assuming it's some kind of clone.
Strange thing about this camera is that it comes with a static IP from factory of 192.168.1.110, my network is 192.168.0.X, but I was able to log in to the web interface by...
